My happy week- brown and tan bags. The camel color, like Coach British tan or Saddle, Hermès Gold or Natural Barenia, is my favorite color leather. Warm, glowing, organic but rich and sophisticated. I have decided that my Bolide will be in this color, not black, because that is what makes my heart sing and since it will be my most expensive bag, I want my heart to sing every time I wear it. May get rid of D&B satchel and LV Bucket, Coach tote when I get Bolide.

I like brown and tan a lot lately. Love your Saleya and of course your pap but also many others. That Dooney is so pretty. I wish they weren’t so heavy.

Here is the first bunch.

The last one is a sneak peek of the new Ralph Lauren. Not a great shot but best I could get before he stored it.

Thanks! The Saleya is one of my faves. Literally saw it from across a crowded room and decided I had to have one!
On the Dooney- Me too!! And big! This was the bag my sister gave me for my birthday, so I am torn. I sold the other two she gave me, but this one I actually like the looks of.

Love your collection!

I think i’ll skip this week’s full showcase only because I have around 20ish brown/taupe bags and they’re not all stored in the same place! I can show my LV collection though (that has most of my browns) since I’ve posted it in another thread and my three other favorites the Gucci Dionysus, Gucci bamboo tote and Fendi pochette!

Yesterday we were out shopping with dd to find a bridal shower dress. We were in Ralph Lauren the one with the purple labels. I saw a love tan crossbody with a suede interior. I told my husband jokingly that would make a great mothers day gift knowing full well it was over a month away. What I did not think about is how much my husband hates to shop for gifts. Now I have a bag I can't have till mothers day. Do I count it as an in this month since it is in the house or next month when I actually get to have it? I was leaning towards this month even though I wanted to have a month of no ins.

@dcooney4, adore your bag pics and love the RL. But, I think, nope, next month. If you cannot wear it, then it’s not in your monthly count More importantly, did your DD find the perfect dress?

@mariliz11, love your last two group bag pics! Stunning collection! And, I’m a big fan of LV leopard shawls!

@BowieFan1971, don’t know how I missed it, but I love your brown bag curation! And the flamenco dancer! Well done of your DH! Happy Anniversary!

posting a pic of metallic below. The bag that I always wanted that sadly got away was a Cabat PM metallic, not sure if it was ottone. . . i wanted the pewter gunmetal color but couldn’t bear the thought of paying full price. I still long for that bag, but I’m pretty sure the cabat doesn’t fit my lifestyle, so it’s for the best I never got one.

The clutch on top of the BV hobo is silver metallic H. The black stingray (Constance style) in the middle is somewhat iridescent, so it’s in the metallic group. And the multicolored canvas tote and backpack are ghurka with hand painted metallic stripes. My next custom metallic bag (perhaps later this year) from @docride will be a taupe metallic.

That’s the Ribera PM I ‘stole’ from my mum I think it was discontinued around 2010 but such a great crossbody!

Sorry, but the title of the best DH in the world is taken today. My first anniversary present, straight from France! I wanted her since the moment I saw her. She reminds me of my flemenco instructor and the color and the energy is....

I am a lucky woman.View attachment 5044818View attachment 5044819

Congratulations! Gorgeous scarf!
I am also a fan of brown bags and Hermes Gold is my favorite too! Very nice brown collection.

Would love to see your entire brown collection when you get the chance. Love your browns, particularly the Dionysus. And is that a Ribera? I have always admired that bag.

Not yet! We saw this at Zimmermann but it was to tight on the chest.

That’s the Ribera yes! Also here’s a collage of some of my other browns with online pics (saves me the wardrobe hussle haha)
